There are so many good resources already out there that we have committed to spend hours trawling the web to find the best so that you don’t have to. Whenever we find something solid we will profile it here. This time the spotlight is on The Unsigned Guide’s Essential Guide to Music Funding.

In a climate where record labels are increasingly cautious about signing artists and there is a growing tranche of DIY musicians self releasing and promoting their projects accessing funding options is now more important than ever for artists serious about getting to the next stage of their careers.

While the guide covers a lot of ground it is impossible to have a document that is an exhaustive list. However, knowing the different types of funding and some major sources is certainly a strong starting point.
